Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Your palpitations are related to your habit of smoking weed that stimulates the heart too much. It is best advised for you to quit the habit and see the change for yourself. You may even get in touch with your GP who would help you device a plan for quitting.

However if you still get palpitations even after leaving weed then consult a doctor and get an ECG done which would detect WPW syndrome. Usually after successful ablation of WPW it does not recur.
